What these guys are doing now will be recorded for all eternity. -- LSU football a hair behind Alabama;


Knowing that the American economy is moving faster into a downward spiraling path to hell. You would think that someone of leadership working for the American people in Washington DC. Should be noticing that fact. So of course we the American people could put our shoulders together to fix our depth problem.


Not so Barack Obama, he said that the American people should work to make the American labor market, a place to share the wealth. Between the people living in America for both rich and poor, and people of all races and creeds. Share the wealth. 


A chicken in every pot. A bowl of soup for every American. Never you mind. That the America government is spending the inheritance of American not yet bore. We should be helping the people of the same sex, feel equal in our American society. And also fixing the American laws to absorb the thousand, and thousands, of people crossing over the American borders at will.


To give them equal right to the American laws, and to make sure that we should keep helping them, by giving them government assistance. To help the illegals immigrants maintain a decent life for themselves and their family's. Working and living in America. Just keep borrowing low interest rate loans. And keep the federal reserve bank of America printing more, and more, money. And just keep treading water, and don't rock the American boat for heaven sakes.

Never mind that these entitlement by our American government is costing the American people trillions of dollars. The federal reserve bank can simply keep printing more trillions. Raise more taxes on the rich, and keep printing more low interest rate loans. That will keep our American economy floating for years to come.

Yeah!! Said the American news media. We love Obama. He is a man after our own heart strings. A man of the people. A true liberal voice of the American spirit. So the News media polity just leave the everyday news that hurts the Obama policy out of the reports that they write. They truly like Obama. So forget about fairness in reporting the news. Without the news media reporting fairness. This country will not be free. Without reporting the news as it happens, The American people will suffer the fatal confusing kiss of a failed society without trust. No kidding.

Our children will see a tsunami tidal wave of destructive inflation, that will shatter our American currency. That will make the American legal tender almost worthless in the world market place. A true hell on earth for our children, and their children. Leaving a legacy in every language. That damns the people now running the United States government. What these guys are doing now will be recorded for all eternity. As long as men and women live on the face of this earth.
What president Obama told the American people in his 2013
Inauguration speech.  Was simply crazy.

LSU football a hair behind Alabama



By JIM ENGSTER
Tiger Rag Featured Columnist


As Les Miles ramps up for his ninth year at LSU, he presides over the second best program in the nation, the SEC and the SEC West. Only Alabama, with possession of three of the last four BCS crystal trophies, is ahead of LSU. The margin between the Tide and the Tigers is not insurmountable for Miles and co.

Should Miles win at Tuscaloosa on Nov. 9, he will be 4-4 vs. Saban. It is remarkable that two titans of the college game have remained at championship levels for the last six years simultaneously. Alabama has won 62 of its last 69 games with two of its seven defeats (28.6 percent) since 2007 coming to LSU. Two other Alabama victories over LSU during the span have been narrow escapes at Tiger Stadium (27-21 in overtime in 2008 and 21-17 on Nov. 3 of last year).

For those who discount LSU’s chances of winning this November at Bryant-Denny, it should be noted that Miles is 3-1 in the fabled stadium, including a 2-1 advantage over Saban.  Miles is 85-21 at LSU, the best eight-year record in school history. Saban in his final two years at LSU and first six at Alabama is 90-17. Removing the games in which they have faced each other, Miles is 82-17 (82.8 percent) and Saban is 86-14 (86 percent) over the past eight years.

The best eight-season period for Alabama’s Bear Bryant came between 1972 and 1979. During those years, the Tide was 86-10 with three national championships and seven SEC titles. Unlike the present reign of Alabama, LSU was not competitive with the Bear from 1971 to 1981 as the Tigers dropped eleven straight games to the Red Elephants by a combined score of 261-89.

The inability to beat Alabama cost Charlie McClendon his job in 1979. He closed a 2-14 record vs. Bryant by losing 3-0 at Tiger Stadium to the last national title team for his fellow Arkansan and his college mentor at Kentucky. In a few days on Jan. 26, thirty years will have passed since the Bear’s death at the age of 69. LSU did have the satisfaction of beating him in his last assignment against the Tigers, but Bryant was 20-5-1 vs. LSU as coach at Alabama, Kentucky and Texas A&M.

As great as Saban is in the contemporary world of college football, he will never enjoy the superior position over LSU that Bryant commanded for decades. Since Bryant’s departure, LSU is 14-16-1 vs. ‘Bama, and that includes the eight out of eleven losing seasons from 1989-99 when the Tigers were 2-9 against the Tide.

The rivalry between Miles and Saban is thriving, and LSU is not inclined to bow in deference to the BCS champs. The fun is only beginning in the annual hate-fest between the Hat and his artfully coiffed colleague. A nine-foot bronze statue of Saban with enhanced hair is positioned outside the stadium gates at 920 Paul W. Bryant Drive along with those of four other Alabama coaches. LSU should copy its SEC brother and place statues of its championship coaches (Miles, Paul Dietzel and Saban) outside Tiger Stadium.

The Miles sculpture would appropriately showcase his cap while the Saban piece would not include the hairpiece that his Alabama statute features. Instead, it would accurately reflect the thinning thatch on the 61-year-old Tide leader, and it would stand five-foot-eight inches high.

Truth elusive for Notre Dame and Media

Alabama’s 42-14 rout of Notre Dame has been eclipsed with the revelation that Irish linebacker Manti Te’o’s claim that he is the victim of a hoax that lured him into an online relationship with a nonexistent woman. Deadspin has revealed the existence and death of the Heisman Trophy runner-up’s girlfriend is a fraud.

Many of the most prestigious media outlets gave momentum to the bogus account of love and death. The Te’o tragic back-story was reported frequently during the past season.  On Sept. 11, 2012, Te’o informed the media that he suffered the loss of his grandmother and his girlfriend on the same day.

Last week, Deadspin published an article stating there was no record of the girlfriend ever attending Stanford University where the nonexistent Lennay Kekua was alleged to have been a student.

Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick said that Te’o informed the school about the hoax on Dec. 26 after receiving a call on Dec. 6 from the woman he thought to be Kekua, claiming she was alive. The linebacker still brazenly reflected on Kekua’s death in several interviews leading up the BCS Championship Game.  And Notre Dame did nothing to correct the record of Kekua and her death.

Te’o has revealed that the name of a man he says is the perpetrator of the fraud, but much remains to be sorted. The truth appears to be as elusive as Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon were to the Irish on Jan. 7.

There is a taint on the sanctimonious reputation of Notre Dame and on media entities such as Sports Illustrate, which repeatedly advanced the lies with zeal and without corroboration.


It is time for all journalists who cover sports to examine their own pasts. How many broadcasters and scribes have misled the public about their own credentials and not refrained from reporting on Te’o and the steroid revelations of Lance Armstrong?

Twelve years ago, Notre Dame hired Georgia Tech football coach George O’Leary to lead the Irish. He lasted at South Bend for only a few days because O’Leary had lied about earning a master’s degree. He acknowledged padding his resume on his way up the college coaching ladder. LSU lost an assistant basketball coach earlier this year for the same offense.

For any journalist who has lied about receiving a college degree, this is the time to come clean. The penalty will be harsh for any media member who has advanced a trail of deceptions in his own life and then comments on the veracity of Te’o and Armstrong.

    Did you see the Alabama interior lineman knocking the Notre Dame football players off the line of scrimmage like they were easy pickings. Alabama lineman were pushing Notre Dame lineman back over and over again. In Alabama lop sided victory over Notre Dame in the 2012 BCS Championship game.

    The 2013 LSU fighting tigers football team can start singing good bye horses http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db4Nds4BOVo this coming college football season. Because Les Miles bull talk is falling onto deaf ears as America keep looking into the reality of NCAA college football for the years to come.

    Nick Saban is recruiting better college football players then everyone else. So no matter what the talk is. Everyone can see the truth for themselves. Les Miles is having a good old time cashing the big LSU paychecks. As the LSU college football program keep riding further back in the pack of the SEC. I am not impresses with your coaching ability Mr. Les.
    We buy miles in bulk 100K miles for $800 - $2000. In useless Miles/Points as Les Miles want us ( the LSU fans) to buy this video;
